Here is some good news for those of you who love Apple's products. Apparently the new 4th gen iPod touch has released and is available to purchase. This is really great news to me as i am a owner of the 2nd gen iPod touch and i really love my iPod.



The new iPod touch will feature a built in Mic with rear and front cameras for HD recording and video chat. The retina display featured in the iPhone 4 will also be included in the 4th gen touch. As for the pricing, you can get the 8GB for $229, 32GB for $299, and the 64GB for $399. Personally i think i will get the 32GB whenever i can and i will be sure to do a review or even an unboxing video. Anyway for more information you can always visit Apple's website located here.

Best Free Antivirus

Keep your PC safe and download MSE today. Its the anti virus that i am currently using and it gets the job done. Not bloated and overpowered like Norton or McAfee. I highly recommend it if your looking for a change or are just starting. Also if you had any other anti virus before, its good to look for a removal tool for it to make sure its all gone. So basically you can search Google for something like "Norton removal tool" or "Avast removal tool".

Easy Free Music

This is a small guide I'm writing to teach you how to get individual songs for free without using lime wire or anything like that. The first thing you wanna do is go here and download that software. It is going to add a OneClick YouTube Downloader to your web browser (firefox).



So with that add-on you can go to a site like playlist.com and get free songs.

Intro

Start off by opening Flash and selecting  Action Script 3.
 
Create A Video

To create a video you will click on the library tab then right click on the space below and select new video. Name it video, change the type to video (ActionScript-controlled), press ok, and drag it over to the white space on the left.
